Game Artists, LLC is eager to announce their 3D side-scrolling hack and slash game The Dark Heart of Balor. Which is due to release mid-2022 via Early Access for Windows PC. However, the developer also shows hope for Linux in a recent email reply.
Yes. We have all the necessary tool chain to compile for Linux to run it natively. Worst case, you should be able to run it using Wine, but we will do our best to make a playable build for Linux.
The Dark Heart of Balor is developed via Unreal Engine 4. So porting to Linux is certainly possible. However, Game Artists, do have solid plans to ensure functionality, one way or another. Which is encouraging for the Diablo inspired hack and slash. And from first look, the gameplay and art style gets the attention.
